In a directive issued by IOA president Narinder Batra said that the proposed committee would make presentations before CSR boards of PSUs and big corporate houses so as to convince them to adopt sports activities as their CSR.

 

The directive also urged other IOA members to also make their own efforts in the direction. There was also a proposal to form a section in the IOA's website where all documents related to CSR could be uploaded along with links to websites of the companies who had adopted sports activity as CSR.

 

The body meanwhile responsible for selecting athletes to represent India at the Olympic Games, Asian Games and other international athletic is slated to try register its members as Implementing Agency for CSR with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
